Toad Was Weaseled Into Trouble. We become involved in the many happenings in the life of the carloving Mr. Toad, as The Wind in the Willows was presented. Badger, Rat, and Mole, friends of Toad, tried to keep him on the right track and out of cars. The trio almost succeeded, but a vil-lianous gang, the Weasels, had other plans. The deceptive hoodlums falt-tered their way from Toad's carriage house right up to Toad Hall. These crafty animals, being a fun-loving lot, suggested the borrowing of a yellow, beautiful limousine. Toad did not get far, and landed in jail. The situation became worse, when Portly Otter could not be found. Mrs. Otter was frantic with worry, until Toad escaped from jail as a washerwoman, helped by Penelope, the jailer's daughter. Toad and company were cunning, clumsy, and courageous when assuring the safe return of Portly from the Weasels. 14 — All School Play
